Hi Community,
We're heading to South America with our converted truck, which is a light vehicle (3,500 kg limit) that we’re shipping by boat in October this year (2026).
But after weighing it, we’re at 4,500 kg.
Based on your experience, do you think we’ll get stopped in South America (Uruguay, Paraguay, Argentina, Peru, Bolivia, and southern Brazil) because of this?
Are there police checks for overweight vehicles? Has this happened to any of you?
Thanks in advance for your experiences and advice!
